You say all that, but where in Acts 9:6 state that Paul was saved in Acts 9:6??
Exactly . . .

Are you denying that Paul said he is the prototype?Exactly . . .

Refuses to answer. Expected and noted.Jesus Christ is the perfect, sinless, "prototype" for Christains to emulate and adore.
That is dopey . . . what about Eve and Abel and all the O.T. saints who believed God would produce a Seed to remedy the fall of man at the hands of Satan.
Noah was not saved by grace? Are you sure? Genesis 6:8
The entire Godly lineage of Jesus Christ, including King David, was not saved by grace?
What a ridiculous notion . . .
It is too foolish to even consider arguing.
No.
Act 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Act 11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Act 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Act 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Act 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
Act 11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Act 11:25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
2 Corinthians 12 : 9-10 (ESV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Wasn't he persecuting Christians while he was still in a unrepentant state? How can you say then "Saul was the first one saved"? Unless you are referring to something else. You did mention by grace, but I must argue that those before him were saved by grace as well.
What about Matt 7:21?
Hi and that is why Paul was so Powerful , he have the POWER of God !!
dan p
I was taught by God a couple days ago to wisdom and understanding of the concept that Paul conveys
Hi , and many called Him Lord , and those in Matt 7:21 is not the same as 1 Cor 12:3 as Christ was beginning a Dispensation of the Grace of God as Col 1:25 says , HIDDEN in God from the Ages and Generations to be reveal to SAUL / PAUL an new Apostles to Gentiles also known as the " I AM ".

Refuses to answer. Expected and noted.
Hi and 1 Tim 1:15 says the SAUL was the Pattern and the FIRST /PROTO TO BE SAVED !!
Gal 1:15 the first ONE called by Grace , Hurts and Hurts , and the antidote is to study Paul !!:chuckle::chuckle:

Paul was simply a messenger of the power of God to save. Paul did not possess equal powers with God. P
Hi and Reformed , Federal or Covenant theology will never explain Eph 2:12 and Gentiles were never promise a Covenant ,
And it is hard for most to believe what 2 Cor 2:10 says , To whom ye forgive anything , I forgive also , for if I forgive anything , to whom I forgave it , for your sakes forgave I it in THE PERSON OF CHRIST !!
That is how POWERFUL Paul was , so I believe Paul , and who are YOU ??
